You can always use those ports for pictures and slide shows. Touch's

erver is now setup. Just connect Touch to
your network, point Touch to your server, you are done. Assuming you
plan on using SBS server on your computer.
Other option is to just plug the USB drive into the Touch, no computer
needed, but there are limitations in not using the full SBS server.

Well, your Touch is a G series WiFi device, G tops out at 54mbps, and

A typical music file in WAV format is probably using 1.5 mbps on the
